Sour Cream Pound Cake
This Sour Cream Coffee Cake has been a trusted favorite of mine for years. Perfectly suited for morning coffee, a leisurely breakfast, or afternoon tea, this delightful treat strikes an impeccable balance of flavors. The brown sugar streusel adds a gentle sweetness, complemented by a warm hint of cinnamon spice, while the sour cream lends a subtle, tangy depth. Finished with a drizzle of simple icing, it’s nothing short of irresistible. Indulge, share it with a friend and enjoy every bite!
